Job description

Be Part of a Leading Implant Center the Heart of Sydney!

The Dental Group (Sydney Implant Institute) is looking for a passionate and skilled Dental Assistant to join our dynamic team at the Sydney Implant Institute in our Sydney CBD location.

If you’re a Dental Assistant who’s ready for more than check-ups and fillings, this is the role. Sydney Implant Institute is a specialist implant centre on Macquarie Street, part of The Dental Group (Sydney Implant Institute, Dental Lounge and Dental 99). We do implant dentistry every day, from single implants through to full-arch All-on-X (AOX) cases, and we’re looking for a DA who wants to grow with us.

What you’ll learn here that you won’t learn elsewhere

• How to assist in All-on-X full-arch procedures, from surgical setup through to same-day teeth
• Sterile surgical assisting: theatre setup, sterile field, instrument flow and working alongside the surgeon in real time
• The full implant patient journey, from consult and 3D scans through surgery, restorative phases and review
• Digital workflows, e.g. CBCT, intraoral scanning

You don’t need surgical experience to apply. If you’re a strong chairside DA and you want to learn, we’ll train you properly.

• Chairside and surgical assisting across implant, surgical and restorative appointments
• Setting up and turning over surgical and treatment rooms so every patient gets a calm, ready space
• Looking after patients before, during and after surgery, including clear post-op instructions. Implant patients are often nervous and making a big decision, so your care matters
• Running infection control and sterilisation to the standard surgery demands
• Working closely with the surgeon, treatment coordinators and reception so the day runs smoothly

What you’ll bring

• 2+ years’ experience as a Dental Assistant
• Confident with dental terminology, procedures and practice software
• Surgical or implant assisting is a bonus, not a must
• Calm under pressure and organised enough to stay a step ahead of the surgeon
• Warm, professional communication with patients
• Learn from a team that does implant surgery every day, not occasionally
• A clear path to develop as a surgical and implant specialist DA
• A modern CBD clinic close to Martin Place and St James stations
• Monday to Friday, no weekends
• A fun, social team with monthly drinks and events
• Part of a growing multi-brand group, with more opportunities as we expand
